Apologies for being so scarce lately. Mom was in the hospital (out now thankfully) and I've been scrambling to finish a mountain of work.
Life happens! I'm glad she's better - and you're being productive!
Ain't that the truth! Actually feeling great now that everything has settled out.

I am just glad she is doing well, and that you are. I like to hear that.
I'm still stuck in that phase of wanting to fiercely hug and bitch slap your mother at the same time.
*laughs* she inspires those moments 
If she would just admit when she feels crummy... life would be SOOO much easier! 
amen!
